New CLK 430 owner, in need of new rims

Hello y'all! So i got this 99' CLK 430 and i couldn't be happier, i really love this car. I find that it has enormous potential to be a real turn-heads car, but for that I'm in serious need of new 19" rims. Currently riding on 17" stock rims. Since I'm a huge Benz-fan I'm searching for these AMG-rims and I would love a reply or two. Sorry for crappy English, im a Swedish dude.



What's the name of these and where can I get these?

Hey man welcome to the forum!

We could help you find new wheels for your car, are those AMG wheels in the pic or a specific brand? Have you looked around for much? If you got a brand or two in mind feel free to send us a PM and we can look into it for you, and we ship internationally as well.

This car looks the best with staggered rims (larger rear) with some lip on them. The flat-face like your pic does not really look right to me.

I find my 19" are a bit rough on the bumps, but they were on there when I bought it, so I don't know how they compare to stock with taller tires on them. I have considered changing to 18". I love this set and they fit OEM center caps, which always looks better:

I like concave, but haven't seen any pics on a CLK. I really think a lip makes this car look right, more muscular. The original rims are staggered with a lip. Concave would probably look better than flat. The C63 rims don't look bad though, I have seen pics, and very similar to the one you posted. Here are some replicas from the same site:

These are similar, but slotted, closer to what you posted, comes in 18"

Half way down this thread, there is a silver car with black rims that have a chrome lip. I really like that look for black rims. That front bumper is nice too.
